ABSTRACT

Women&#39;s nightclothes, in one or two pieces, which top section covering the bust is specifically designed to discreetly hide the nipple of the breast. The invention being characterized in that all versions of these women&#39;s nightclothes are designed for the practical purpose of hiding the nipple of the breast while remaining comfortable and feminine These nighclothes forming a clothing line named DiscreetEve™.

The invention relates to women's nightclothes top sections design processes with the utilitarian function of covering the bust to hide the nipple of the breast. The form versions are specifically designed and conditioned by its function. This is why in that case the patent's rules apply.

These nighclothes form a clothing line named DiscreetEve for which I registered for a Trademark. The design processes and drawings have also been submitted as industrial designs under the Industrial Design Act. I have also registered for a copyright.

What woman does not like nightclothes? At the end of the day, change from their work clothes to comfortable and nice nightclothes, take off their bra. In women's life nightclothes are not primarily designed to appeal.

While bras are now designed for women to dress elegantly, women's nightclothes design ignores their elegance and dignity. It is a chance to find discreet, subtle and feminine nightclothes since they are not designed for this purpose. Women have no choice but to buy too large sizes, fold their arms, wear two layers, wear thick fabric, keep their bra or wear a supportive brassiere-like camisole under the nightclothes.

Some dresses with supportive brassiere-like structures could be worn as nightclothes, if they look like a night gown and fits around the bust. This is not the comfort women are looking for.

Whether it is a short or long nightdress, chemise, sleepshirt, pajama or camisole, the process will allow women to wear nice, comfortable and feminine nightclothes according to their taste and size and without showing the nipple of the breast.

It should be kept in mind when reading the full description that the design versions are not, per se, considered as new. The innovative aspect is that they are not used for decorative purposes, but specifically for women's nightclothes, to cover the bust and hide the nipple of the breast.
